Is Westomat® DUO for you?
If you are tight on space, the answer could be yes. Floor space is one of a foundry's most valuable resources. Whether you're planning a new casting cell, replacing existing equipment or improving access for maintenance and operation, making the best use of available space can increase productivity, simplify workflows and create greater flexibility for the future.
Westomat DUO was developed with this in mind. Its innovative dual-opening design reduces the installation space required by up to 45%, while delivering the same proven melt quality, dosing accuracy and reliability you get with its big brother, the Westomat Classic.

4 things to know about Westomat DUO
Suited to structural HPDC and Giga casting
As structural HPDC and Giga casting continue to evolve, foundries are placing greater emphasis on production cell layout, accessibility and efficient use of floor space. Westomat DUO is particularly well suited to these environments. For higher-volume structural applications, models such as the Westomat 4300 DUO combine large melt capacity with excellent melt quality, high dosing speeds and precise metal delivery, making it an ideal choice for demanding structural casting production. Looking to integrate your dosing furnace into an in-cell melting setup? Westomat DUO is also compatible with StrikoWestofen's in-cell melting solutions, helping create highly integrated, automated casting cells.
